This service manual will show you how to change them out. http://www.servicematters.com/m...ibrary/docs/16025911.pdf If you do it, make sure you clean out the lint in every place, particularly the lint chute and vents both internal and external.

It was coming from the rear/right side. I think you are dead-on with the rollers. Will post back when I am done with the replacement of the rollers.
